The problem? The shower door.
He put in the order for it, got a delivery date, and nothing showed up. It was supposed to be delivered to our house. He called, got a new delivery date, but still no door.
This happened probably half a dozen times, maybe more than that, and the plumber finally said enough. I'll go to you and pick up the door myself. Keep in mind this was probably over the course of a month or more.
He got the door. He installed it. He finished the shower and it was all good.
And then the company started trying to deliver the shower door You know, the one we waited more than a month for them to deliver originally. The one the plumber called about repeatedly trying to find out where it was and why it hadn't been delivered.
The first time, my dad went out and talked to them. The second time, they came before 7am and I had to deal with them. My dad dealt with the the other times and last Thursday they actually had the door off the truck and wheeled to the front door on a skid.
On Friday morning, when I heard a backup beeper go off, I ran to the windows and opened the blinds. I was afraid they were backing a truck into our driveway with the shower door. Luckily, it was someone working at a neighbor's house and not the delivery company.
I'm not convinced the saga has ended yet. But at least my dad has his shower now and he likes it. And one day--maybe soon--they'll stop trying to deliver the shower door.
